2nd hand hifi is too tempting, so sometimes you get something that fails to meet expectations.
NAS Spacedeck. Didn't like it very much
Harbeth Compact 7 -same story...
That should teach you not to copy my system

Supra speaker cable: poor timing
Audiolab 8000DAC: too tame

James,
This is embarrassing but here goes:
Primare 20A/20D ( bought them strictly based on reviews. )
Wilson W/P 5.2 ( the most expensive **** up. I don't know what I was thinking or not thinking was more like it)
Jeff Rowland Design Model 112 amp ( worked at the dealer. But didn't at home )
Art Audio DM/VPS Balanced version ( love the single ended version but a balanced version was a total waste of money )
Shunyata King Cobra PC ( a poor way to tone down treble distortions )
Sansui SR313 Turntable ( at least it looks the part )
Bel Canto Evo 6 (a premature Class D effort )
Naim NAC 52. ( the jury is still out on this one. If it doesn't make it, it would be my first Naim kit that didn't make a cut )
Many footers, cables, racks and CD *enhancement* widgets. ( all are bought blind so more misses than hits)
WATTGATE 381 and PC Audio outlets ( what do you know. Electrical outlets make sonic difference. For worse, however. )
Headamp Gilmore ( liked the original small version. Surely I thought that the beefier separate power supply would improve things. Not. )
Custom valve headamp (a lovely door stop now )
Channel Island DAC and PSU ( it was cheap )
Kuma, that almost sounds like a blue chip investment portfolio. If only, huh?
Yep.Kuma,
Has dD been contacted for a consult on the 52?
Having had good experiences with my original Cyrus 1, I 'upgraded' to a Cyrus 8. Having failed to learn my lesson, I added PSXR and eventually SmartPower. Sold the lot, got a Glasshoue TVC / WAD6550 combo and never looked back. I still like the Cyrus 1 though.
